That makes it a tool for gauging the progress of loss. 43 items. A grim countdown score in the form of a simple number: how many are still left?

But current and former privacy workers, from low-level staff to top executives, increasingly view the agreements as outdated and inadequate. Their hope is that US lawmakers engineer a solution that helps authorities keep pace with advances in technology and constrain the behavior of far more companies.</p><p>Congress does not look likely to act soon, leaving the privacy of hundreds of millions of people who entrust personal data to Google and Meta backstopped by the two consent decrees, static barriers of last resort serving into an ever-dynamic era of big tech dominance they were never designed to contain. The FTC is undertaking an ambitious effort to modernize its deal with Meta, but appeals by the company could drag the process out for years and kill the prospect of future decrees."</p><p><a href="https://www.wired.com/story/google-consent-decree-ftc-broken-privacy-protections/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wired.com/story/google-consent</span><span class="invisible">-decree-ftc-broken-privacy-protections/</span></a></p>
Cory Doctorow<p>From a forthcoming paper by Simcha Barkai, presented at the Stigler Center's#antitrust conference. This is data from every antitrust enforcement action since 1971. Note that nearly NONE of the enforcement actions brought relate to consent decree violations.</p><p><a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/ConsentDecrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConsentDecrees</span></a> are <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/bullshit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bullshit</span></a>.</p>
